One of the worse aspects of this pandemic that aren't directly derived from the virus is the constant psychological warfare to which we are being submitted. There's a constant avalanche of stimuli seeking our attention and reaction. When I've found myself in situations similar to yours, I have found helpful to bear in mind that the random guy throwing his aggression against me is under the same mind-destroying conditions as myself. That way, I can have some compassion.

I agree, there have been more and more acts of violence against unmasked people, a majority of the violence wasn't even provoked by the unmasked person. They won't like the end result if that violence points my way, I do know how to protect myself but to be honest I truly detest violence.
